the Whites slaves.
Gov. Richardson of South Carolina has
received information from a prominent
citizen of Cedar Grove, Laurens county,
to the effect that the Negroes of that
neighborhOod and the adjacent part of
Spartanburg county have organized them
selves into secret clubs, ostensibly knights
of labor and are holding frequent meet
ings of an incendary character, the object
of which is to demand of the white farm
ers an increase OF their wages to 81 and
Sl.50 day, and in the event of their de-
mands not being complied with they pro-
pose to eXtermnate the white people and
take possession of their lands. These
meetings are held three times a week, be-
tween midnight and a. m. Pickets are
posted around the places of meeting, and
the utmost secrecy is observed. Speeches
are made, in which the leaders say they
will kill all the white men and the old
women, take the young women for their
wives and make the white children work
for them as slaves. One of the speakers
at a recent meeting expected his hearers
to burn and kill out the whites, and, if
necessary, go down to your graves with
bloody feet. "
Inc RONerlOT , lllOTHdllt states THAT an
outbreak may be expected at any moment,
and makes an urgent appeal for help. He
also says that the white citizens have organ
lied cavalry company of fifty men, but
they need arms and ammunition, which they
urge the state authorities to supply them
with Immediately. The Negroes, il is said,
are well supplied with arms and ammuni-
ton. Adjt-General Bonham being absent,
the Governor has ordered Colonel ScOffin,
the Assistant Adjutant-General, to repair
to the scene of the disturbances, investi-
gate the matter and report at once. A full
supply of Springfield carbines andammu-
milton for fifty men are ready for shipment
to Laurens. The governor expressed his
intention to act promptly and vigorously
in this matter and quell the threatened
instruction at the very outset. Should
this report of the investigation of the as
sistant Adjutant-General verify the infor-
nation already in possession of the COVER
nor, several companies of the volunteer
state troops will be sent to Laurens to pro-
tect the lives and property of the white
people. 1t is believed that these ignorant
Negroes are acting under the direction of

was sovereig ign by the grace of God!

she has not drawn any of what was COM
ing to her, but had present of draft of
$50. 900, Then her lawyer gave her $780,
600 i'm cash. She had that when | saw
her i'm st. Louis about the 10th of Febru-
AIRY. She is heir to about $500, 900, with
use for over one year. The detective has
had the luck to find that much out. Ii
can't be got without private mark which
was agreed to when they last met the lady
that has the care of it. 1t was to make
her sign that mark that they tortured her
so for, but she would not sign it and
think she is very gritty. The detective
writes me that they kept her six days with
out a mOuthful to eat, and all manner of
tortures that are cruel. | shall see that
she is taken to her family; shall try to get
her there by the 4th of July, if her mind
is so that we can move her. for now she is
